Brief:<\/b><\/p>

The UK\u00a0announced last year that it would ban Huawei and remove China\u2019s 5G infrastructure by\u00a02027,\u00a0however, it is worth\u00a0analyzing what causes it to do so and whether the UK will reverse its decisions.\u00a0Huawei has come under fire for lapses in its security system, which States fear could enable China to spy on them. In the wake of the US\u2019s belligerence towards China, any Chinese infrastructure is\u00a0under suspicion, which is also aided by the frustration that the US and UK are unable to produce the technology that China currently holds.\u00a0The threat is still considered so great that Europe would rather delay the advent of 5G than consume Chinese technology, while Huawei and Samsung move on to develop 6G.\u00a0The issue seems to be not so much about Chinese espionage as it is about geopolitics. The US has been a major factor in pushing\u00a0and outright threatening\u00a0the UK to ban Huawei; and since the UK needed to make deals with the US post-Brexit, it complied.\u00a0Moreover, Prime Minister Boris Johnson also was under pressure from rebel Tory MP\u2019s.\u00a0In the US, firms in the tech sector are lobbying their government to push against Huawei even more, while the British are lobbying for their government to soften the restrictions\u00a0since they are connected to the Chinese firm. It is evident that the UK\u2019s decision is not wholly its own, which could explain why Beijing has not retaliated. Huawei\u2019s Vice President also commented that with the exit of Trump, the Johnson administration could revisit its decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
